Last Saturday, I went to support my gay family and friends and went to our city’s Pride festival. This was the first time attending and I didn’t know anyone there. Normally, if I don’t have someone to go with somewhere, I just won’t go. Yes, I give up my chance of having fun or living LIFE just because I don’t want to go alone. And I know that I am not the only person like this. *cough* introverts *cough* But I’ve had enough of missing things just because I am… Hmmm I don’t know, scared? Intimidated? Care about what people think of me being there alone? My mother often goes to movies alone, I have always admired her for that. It is something I need to do sometime because there are tons of movies that I have wanted to see but never had anyone to go with sooooo I missed the chance of seeing them on the big screen.
So going to this festival alone was HUGE for me as it is the first thing I have done alone (I think). Technically I guess I wasn’t alone, I brought Storm. But having her with me gave me the courage to get out of my house and go. Even though I brought her with, I am still proud of myself and had to give myself a pat on the back (by posting it ha!).
I ended up staying for a couple hours, which surprised me. But how could I leave when the main theme is about love? Oh! And how could I leave when everyone was adoring and gushing over Storm? I can’t help it, I’m a proud mama. I like to show her off. 🙂

Congratulations on going by yourself, it is not easy.
Thank you! No, it is not! Thanks for visiting! 🙂
Good for you. I was the same way but got over it as I got older.
I was wondering if that was part of it. 🙂 Thanks for visiting! 🙂
well done YOU!!!! Don’t feel bad, I have only gone to one movie in my life alone. I WILL tell you, when I did it, I felt soooooooo good! It was hard to bring myself to do that but it ended up being totally worth it. I had seen “Field of Dreams” back in the day, and to this day, that is one of my favorite and most memorable movies! Kisses to Storm! DakotasDen
Very cool. 🙂 That now makes me want to see a movie alone! Thanks! I hope you are having a good week!
Canine-grats on supporting Pride Week with some totally pawsome folks and for getting out and enjoying it by yourself! Well done. That roller derby pic is hysterical! Storm’s pink tongue matches the pink on the board. Too funny.
Thank you! 🙂
Glad you had the courage to go do something by yourself. I will do things alone, but really do hate going to a restaurant by myself. I’m never quite sure what I am supposed to do while waiting for my food. LOL
Good girl for being courageous with your independence! Lovely post! I just did a post this weekend in my blog as a makeup tutorial in support of LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 rights / Londons Pride Festival! I’d love to know what you think! ❤️💛💚💙💜
Thank you! I checked out your post, I liked it! I don’t wear much make up as I am disabled but I figured I would follow to potentially learn something that I could try. 🙂
If you like I could do a post tailored especially for you to try out and I’d make it my best to help! Thank you so much for your follow! Your a beautiful strong girl and believe it or not you don’t need makeup to show that! Your beauty shows from the inside and glows through your skin 💜💜 Lots of love and I’ll be on it to help you out ❤️😘❤️😘
